See Item 4.1 – Minutes – City Council – Regular Meeting – May 31, 2023 and Item 14.2

Regional Councillor Santos outlined measures taken subsequent to Council consideration of this matter on May 31, 2023, and acknowledged the efforts of staff and the cricket community toward enhancements for the 2023 season.

Council Santos provided a revised motion for Council’s consideration, and Mayor Brown, as seconder of the motion outlined efforts to address challenges faced by the cricket community.

The revised motion was considered as follows.

• C155-2023
  Moved by Mayor Patrick Brown
  Seconded by Regional Councillor Santos

  Whereas Cricket has emerged as Canada's Fastest Growing Sport and has surfaced as Canada's highest-viewed sport;

  Whereas the City of Brampton is a growing hub for Cricket users, partnerships, facilities and events;

  Whereas Brampton is home-base to two important non-profit leagues: BCL - Brampton Cricket League (15 years) and BEDCL - Brampton Etobicoke District Cricket League (35 years) and other emerging leagues serving Brampton’s residents, training players, and organizing a groundswell of support and attention for Cricket, attracting major tournaments to Brampton;

  Whereas the City of Brampton has invested over $2,000,000 in cricket enhancement over the last (3) three years and continues to invest with approximately $7,000,000 allocated for future projects to support Brampton’s vision of being the Cricket Capital of Canada, to include but not limited to:

  • Proud host of the 2023 GT20 Canada tournament with six teams represented nationwide
  • Kwality Sweets Cricket Pitch at Andrew McCandless Park – cricket lighting upgrades, improved seating, natural turf wickets, scoreboard and more;

  Brampton Sports Park (CAA Centre) – redeveloped cricket field with improved grading, spectator access and natural turf pitches at international standards;

  Batsman Park – natural turf pitches and improved screens;

  Creditview Sandalwood Community Park – installation of a general purpose shade shelter to support all multi-use including cricket;

  Creditview Sandalwood Community Park – development of a fully lit cricket pitch anticipated for 2024;

  Earnscliffe Park – pitch replacement scheduled for 2023 to support the emerging format of Cricket; 

  Emancipation Park – installation of a cricket field, added screens, and enhancements to support the availability of additional facility for the competitive grass-roots cricket leagues, with repairs to existing batting cage, pilot washroom installation and general purpose shade structure for 2023;

  Flower City Community Campus – expanded field of play, turf field upgrades, field layout adjustment and irrigation;

  Gore Meadows Community Park – development of one (1) premier cricket field and two (2) community cricket fields anticipated for 2025;

  • Save Max Sports Centre – pitch replacement and shade shelter installation for 2023;
  • Great Gulf Cricket Pitch at Teramoto Park – cricket lighting improvements with multiple natural pitches;
  • Torbram Sandalwood Community Park – newly replaced screens;
  • Joint partnership with Peel District School Board to build a full-sized lit cricket field at Turner Fenton Secondary School anticipated for 2024;

  Whereas given the rapid growth and competition for use of cricket amenities, teams and members particularly from Brampton’s non-profit leagues are being turned away;

  Whereas the cricket community has requested shade shelter sails or shade structures costing $45,000 and $125,000 per unit respectively, on existing fields (players home and away pavillions) to provide coverage from the elements and serve as an amenity to support an improved, uninterrupted quality of the game and include power access in order to promote/live stream games to the cricket community;

  Whereas cricket batting cages are an important amenity which are used by batsmen and bowlers to practice their cricketing techniques, but Brampton only has 1 location of batting cages available;

  Therefore be it resolved that:

  1. Staff be directed to install through the Limited Tendering process, the following cricket enhancements this year:

  a) Two (2) shade structures to include power access, at Andrew McCandless Park in the amount of up to $250,000 already funded through existing approved capital projects within the Parks Maintenance & Forestry Division in collaboration with the Purchasing Division,

  b) Cricket batting cage (4 lanes) be installed at Andrew McCandless Park in the amount of up to $325,000 and paid for through the Local Councillors' Park Enhancement Budget in Ward 5, in collaboration with the Purchasing Division,

  2. Staff develop an appropriate lane allocation management system for cricket batting cages as part of the City’s update to its allocation policy,

  3. Options for two (2) to four (4) shade shelter sails or shade structures (players Home & Away pavilions) at Batsman Park, be explored with other user groups for implementation with consideration to the park’s multi-use field and a budget submission to be made in 2024,

  4. Options for two (2) shade shelter sails or shade structures (players Home & Away pavilions) per Cricket Facility at Teramoto & Emancipation Parks with power where possible, be explored and included in a budget submission in 2024,

  5. As part of the ongoing update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, staff continue regular engagement with cricket organizations in Brampton and bring to Council, suggestions on how to appropriately support the growth in cricket.
